Ena was recruited to Alfheim (1st Generation) in her first year at Yurigaoka Girls Academy, and accomplished many things.

Afterwards, she fell into a slump; however, she regained her confidence after becoming a test-wielder for the Einherjar CHARM. Along with Titia Paumgartner[1], she is one of the first Lilies to fully master Circlet Bless.[2]
Ena is good at teaching and inspiring others. She loves tropical fish, especially protopterus annectens, and has a big fear of dogs. Kisara Okada was her Schutzengel. She is friends with Moyu Mashima, Miharu Nishikawa of Irma Girls School of Fine Arts, Asagao Fujita of Odaiba Girls School, and Marei Amatsu of Ryuto Girls School. She refers to Chihana Takegoshi as her "eternal rival".[3]
